Edwin Jackson should know better than to try to buy printer ink on a Friday night.
And so, Edwin Jackson (@ej36), the newest member of Scott Boras Presents: The Washington Nationals took to Twitter Friday night after the car he was in nearly got smashed by a guy who ran a red light. Jackson was simply out trying to buy some printer ink without any chaos, folks:

NL East: A Fascinating Place: Nationals
This is the fourth post in a series that has looked at the National League East, a division that has had some dynamic movement during this off season. The first post looked at the Phillies and they are the top dogs until somebody knocks them off. The Braves were covered in the second post and it was seen that they have the potential to win 95 games if everything goes perfectly. The...

MMO Fair or Foul: Which Teams Got Better In The NL East
This edition of Fair or Foul features Matt Cerrone of MetsBlog who looks at the NL East and doesn’t buy into the “every other team got better except the Mets” argument. See what you think?
The Braves and Phillies did very little to improve their teams, as well. They either traded guys away, signed fill-in role players or re-signed their own guys. The Mets scored...

Pittsburgh Pirates: The Team Who Cried Wolf
Follow me on Twitter @jim_krug
Everyone knows the nursery rhyme about the boy who joked about seeing a wolf so many times that, when he finally does tell the truth, none of the townspeople believe him, and his flock of sheep (and in some versions, the boy himself) is promptly devoured. One of the most famous of Aesop’s Fables, the moral is that “liars are not rewarded...

You may say I'm a dreamer: Washington Nationals
What else can baseball fans do in January but dream of October? In You May Say I'm a Dreamer, the Outside Corner staff will imagine the route to a World Series in 2012 title for all 30 teams.
To think, the season started with people dreaming about how the Nationals could have been real contenders if only they hadn't been outbid for Prince Fielder by the Tigers. That all...

Edwin Jackson, Roy Oswalt, and the Pirates
In the last week, we've learned that the Pirates showed some interest in both Edwin Jackson (who they apparently offered a three-year deal worth in the neighborhood of $30 million and a one-year deal worth around $10 million) and Roy Oswalt (no word on the terms of an offer because they were rebuffed out of hand, but presumably it would've been in the $8 million neighborhood...

Roy Oswalt, Edwin Jackson turn down Pirates
Well, the Pirates have apparently been making a last-ditch effort to make a big splash and improve their pitching this season, but it didn’t work. They went after free agents Edwin Jackson and Roy Oswalt, but Jackson signed with the Nationals instead and Oswalt “rebuffed” their offers to join a bidding war.
Both would have been welcome additions – they’...

Why Washington Nationals should keep John Lannan
After the Washington Nationals signed free agent pitcher Edwin Jackson, the common thought around baseball was that John Lannan, who has been with the organization since 2005, was expendable. The lefty would have been potentially one of seven pitchers competing for five starting spots in the rotation and one long-relief role, leaving one hurler in the dust. But what if I told you...

Edwin Jackson Turned Down Three Year Deal From Pirates
When Edwin Jackson agreed to sign a one-year, $11 million deal with the Washington Nationals last week, it had been reported that the 28-year-old hurler had turned down several more lucrative offers in favor of pitching for Washington. Today, Fox Sports' Ken Rosenthal shed some light on one of the deals Jackson turned up to join the Nats.
Sources: #Pirates made 3-yr offer...

Edwin Jackson Turned Down The Pirates
Pirates management listened to our plight and offered Edwin Jackson a contract. They reportedly offered him three years and $30 million. Jackson declined the offer and signed with the Nationals for one year and $11 million.Jackson was looking for more money than what he got when all was said and done. No team wanted to give him what he wanted, so he had to lower his asking price...

Yankees Must Pay Luxury Tax, Pirates Must Pay Pathetic Tax
So now the news has come out that the Pirates not only offered Edwin Jackson a three year deal in the range of $25-$30 million, an offer that would pay him less on average than the one year deal he got from the Washington Nationals. Basically the Pirates offered him near market value, to play [...]

Mr. Jackson goes to Washington
Edwin Jackson, the last major free agent, signed a one-year contract with the Washington Nationals last week. The move makes some sense, but at the same time doesn’t make a whole lot of sense. I wrote a piece at the beginning of the off-season, about why Edwin Jackson was the best (value) starting pitcher on the market. So obviously I think the Nationals made the right...

FanGraphs Audio: Dave Cameron Answers Questions
Episode 136
The Washington Nationals recently signed Edwin Jackson to a one-year, $11 million deal. Does the addition of Jackson make the Nats a contender? How would the definition of “contender” change if a second wild-card playoff spot were installed? Also, the Baltimore and Colorado trade: what’s the deal with that?

Platooning Cameron and Ankiel: A Capital Idea
The Washington Nationals have been making headlines lately with big such as trading for Gio Gonzalez and getting a one-year deal with Edwin Jackson. They were even rumored to be in on the Prince Fielder sweepstakes. Some of the Nationals’ other moves understandably have garnered less attention, such as minor-league deals for veteran outfielders Mike Cameron and (more recently...

Would the Nationals consider holding back Strasburg?
The signing of Edwin Jackson presents the Nationals with the kind of problem that every club strives for—they have more starting pitchers than rotation slots. They actually have a LOT more starting pitchers than spots. Stephen Strasburg, Jordan Zimmermann, Gio Gonzalez, and Jackson are all locks while Chien-Ming Wang, John Lannan, and Ross Detwiler will battle for the last...

On Thursday the Washington Nationals bolstered their, already pretty strong, starting rotation by signing free-agent pitcher Edwin Jackson to a one-year deal worth roughly $10 million. With the addition of Jackson, and only five available starting spots open, someone has to either be demoted to the bullpen or traded elsewhere, which is exactly what the Nationals are trying to do...

After Edwin Jackson inked a new deal with the Washington Nationals, the St. Louis Cardinals now sit pretty with five of the first 60 picks in this year’s amateur draft. With that many selections so early, the Cards should be in good position to fortify organizational needs.
